  1. Green Campus Climateand energy actions at University of Copenhagen Tomas Refslund Poulsen, Teamleader Green Campus CERN, 24-10-13

  2. Green Campus Four campuses in Central Copenhagen – 1.000.000 m2 City Campus North Campus Faculty of Law Faculty of Science Faculty of Social Sciences Faculty of Theology Central Administration Faculty of Science Faculty of Health Sciences South Campus Frederiksberg Campus Faculty of Humanities Faculty of Science Faculty of Health Sciences • 1 million m2 buildings, • >38,000 students, 8,000 employees, including 5,000 scientists

  3. Green Campus Study more: www.climate.ku.dk

  4. Green Campus Green Campus - ressourceefficiency and sustainability Sustainable organization, culture and behavior Sustainable infrastructure, buildings and campus areas Education and research: Campus as a living lab and classroom

  5. Green Campus Becoming one of the greenest campuses in Europe • Focus on reduction in energy consumption and –expenses • The most important direct environmental impact • Demonstrating an green and responsible universityIf not universities – who should then? • Saving money for core activities: research and education

  6. Green Campus Key energy figures for UCPH • Annual energy consumption: 176 GWh • Annual energy expenses: € 25 million

  7. Green Campus Key issues • Top management focus and commitment • Short term ambitious reduction targets • Keep focus on where reductions are achieved • Considerable targeted investments needed - but pay-back time is good

  8. Green Campus Key 2013 Goals for Green Campus at the University of Copenhagen • ● Energy consumption must be reduced to a level that is 20% below that of 2006, measured as energy consumption per man year for staff and students (FE*) • ● CO2 emissions from energy consumption must be reduced to a level that is 20% below that of 2006, measured as CO2 emission per man year for staff and students (FE*) • Goals were approved by the university’s board in October 2008 • * FE = Fulltime Equivalent

  9. Green Campus CO2-emissions reduced by 24,1 % per FE in 2012 Ton CO2 3,00 CO2-reduction 2006 – 2012: 2,50 - 28,3 % per FE incl. purchase of wind power 2,00 1,50 1,00 0,50 0,00 2006 - baseline 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 Ton CO2 pr. årsværk Ton CO2 pr. årsværk uden graddagekorrektion Målsætning 20 pct. reduktion ultimo 2013

  10. Green Campus Internal Climate and Energy Actions – responsibilities • ● Campus Steering Committee: Project owner. Rector is head and includes prorector, university director, all 6 deans. • ● Green Campus (3 staff + 3 students), part of Campus Service • Overall strategy, planning and policies • Annual green accounts, controlling etc. • Communication – internal and eksternal • Development and coordination of key transversal initiatives e.g. sustainable behavior, sustainable buildings, green purchasing • ● Faculties: • Energy management and operations • Annual energy report, energy action plan and energyfriendly behavior • Pays their own energy bill • ● Other key units: • The building section uses energy conscious design of building projects • IT Department on green IT (with Green Campus) • Purchasing Department works with green purchasing (with Green Campus)

  11. Green Campus Canteen Laboratories Offices and other common area Heat Area Electricity Laboratories are heavy energy consumers • 83 % of total energy consumption at UCPH is used at laboratory faculties • 4-8 times higher energy consumption per m2 or per employee

  12. Green Campus Investments and savings Investments, 2008-2014: €18 mill. Savings: annually approx. €5,4 mill. Technical Investments: 54 % ventilation 19% heating systems and insulation 13 % Building envelope 11 % Light 2 % Pumps

  13. Green Campus Great savings 50.000 MWh saved ~ 5,4 mill €/year

  14. Green Campus Green Action Green Action is the University of Copenhagen's campaign for energy-efficient behavior.

  15. We have a responsibility • At least 5 % of total energy consumption can be saved just by energy-efficient habits -> more money for the University’s research and education • The best pay-back time on any energy saving activity • Platform for communicating internally on sustainability • Building a platform of awareness among staff -> support of technical energy saving initiatives/policies on operations Green Campus Why adressing behavior? Total annual estimated savings at UCPH > € 1 mill. annually

  16. Green Campus Green Action – the UCPH approach • Engage staff • Focus on the important actions - time and attention is limited • Communication and campaign materials • Maintain focus

  17. Green Campus Engage staff Culture and behavior is formed and transformed among colleagues • Recruitment of approx. 250 voluntary green ambassadors among staff, taking local actions • Task: to engage colleagues and address recommended actions • limited required actions and expectations • offered communication and campaign materials

  18. Green Campus Focus on the important actions - time and attention is limited • Simple advice on most important issues to be targeted: • What can you do individually • What can you do together The little green guide for the laboratorie

  19. Green Campus Most important typical energy consumers in the bio/chemistry laboratory

  20. Green Campus Not just targeting the ”already saved”: Global responsibility Saving money AND make it FUN

  21. Green Campus Communication and campaign materials for labs • Materials for Green ambassadors: • Little Green Guides • Fume hood stickers • Timers • Energy monitors • Sweets • “The angry penguin” • Stickers addressing equipment that could be turned of • Posters • Central communication • Posters • Banners • Competitions • Homepage • Students energy advisors “light”

  22. Green Campus Maintain focus Level of energy-efficient behaviour Campaign Campaign Campaign Time

  23. Green Campus District cooling in North Campus Niels Bohr Building – Faculty of Science, 45,000 m2 Maersk Building – Faculty of Health, 40,000 m2 The estimated demand for cooling on North Campus is 11-12 MW. This includes planned buildings.

  24. Maersk Building :SUSTAINABLE TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE

  25. Green Campus Green Lighthouse: Denmarks first CO2-neutral public building Thankyou! www.klima.ku.dk/groen_campus
